TALLAHASSEE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Earlier this month, at VMware Partner Exchange 2009, Mainline Information
Systems was given VMware`s Technical Achievement Award in recognition of
Mainline`s leadership in comprehensive virtualization solution design and
implementation.

As a VMware Partner Network Premier Partner, Mainline is leading the way in
server, storage and desktop virtualization with more than 170 VMware
certifications. "We are happy to recognize the great work that Mainline has done
throughout the year in growing their virtualization practice, and this is our
time to show our appreciation for all that they do," said Doug Smith, Senior
Director of Global Channels, VMware. "Mainline has demonstrated excellence in
the past year in providing VMware virtualization solutions to customers of all
sizes, and we look forward to their continued success in bringing customers the
benefits of VMware vSphere 4."

Virtualization allows customers to realize numerous benefits that are solid
business technology practices and hallmarks of a sound infrastructure, but carry
special significance in today`s economic climate. "Virtualization through VMware
enables customers to reduce the cost of doing business," explained Mainline`s VP
of Sales, Bill Nemesi. "Power and cooling cost reduction, reclaiming valuable
data center floor space, lower total cost of ownership, ease of management,
increased security and reliable disaster recovery are just some of the benefits
inherent in a virtualization solution."

The capabilities and benefits of virtualization meet the challenges facing IT
departments today, as well as their requirements for growth tomorrow.
"Virtualization is the solution that will carry business technology into the
future with a cost-effective and flexible infrastructure designed for long-term
growth," stated Nemesi.
